Thanks for taking the time to look through my website. I’m guessing that if you’ve reached this page that you have either:

a) Typed Alan Stuart into google looking for handbags and now wondering why you are  reading this.

b) Bored

c) Genuinely taking the time to look round my whole website.

I thank you all for persevering and continuing to read this page. To anyone who’s actually interested, this is the story of how I got here. 

I studied Fine Art, specialising in printmaking, at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. Afterwards, working as a professional printmaker for the likes of Damien Hurst, Peter Blake and David Shepard at a print studio in London.

I recently relocated to Oxford. Joining the Oxford Printmakers Co-operative to finally commence work on my own prints.

My work concentrates on people within their everyday lives. Using the technique of aquatint on zinc etchings, I try to convey a brief glimpse into the lives of the characters in my prints. Sometimes using dark humour and other times employing a more narrative approach.

I have exhibited in London, Oxford, Scotland and Cornwall where I won the Falmouth International print award in 1999.

My work is now collected in the U.K., Australia, Germany and the U.S.A.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to leave me some feedback. I do try to respond to everyone as best as I can. Just no questions about Handbags!
